Il vino che cambia: clima, maturazione e nuove strategie di equilibrio

The Changing Wine: Climate, Ripening, and New Strategies for Balance
Free admission upon reservation

The wine sector is currently facing profound transformations: on one hand, climate change is influencing the timing and methods of grape ripening, significantly affecting the qualitative and compositional characteristics of wines; on the other hand, evolving consumer habits and new market dynamics are increasingly requiring the adoption of innovative production solutions capable of meeting diverse needs.

In this context, alcohol level adjustment is emerging as a highly strategic tool, useful for guiding the sector toward more adaptable production models. It is within this perspective that DEVIN0, an Interreg ALCOTRA project led by APRO Formazione in partnership with CREA, Vignaioli Piemontesi, and the Centre du Rosé, aims to offer a concrete response to ongoing changes through research, experimentation, and training activities.

We will discuss this on May 2, from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM, during VINUM – International Wine Fair of Piedmont, at Palazzo Mostre e Congressi, Piazza Medford 3, Alba (CN), together with:

• Prof. Silvia Guidoni, Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences (DISAFA) – UNITO, who will address the effects of climate change in the vineyard.
• Prof. Vincenzo Gerbi, DISAFA – UNITO, who will present the effects in the winery and from an oenological perspective.
• Davide Viglino, Director of Vignaioli Piemontesi, who will outline the legislative framework surrounding alcohol level adjustment.
• Federico Piano, CREA, who will present dealcoholization and alcohol correction techniques.
• Francesco Bruno and Mario Deltetto, APRO Formazione and Alba Accademia Alberghiera, who will present the activities of the Interreg ALCOTRA DEVIN0 project.

A tasting of wines with corrected alcohol levels will follow.

The event is part of the activities of project no. 21512 Interreg ALCOTRA DEVIN0.
